Mater Admirabilis, we call upon you today as our mother and our model.  We ask you to keep us under your motherly protection, and to guide each one of us in the way that leads to your Son, Jesus. Help us to follow your example of gentleness by being kind to one another and to our teachers.  Help us in our classes – to listen, to study well, to think about things on our own, to ask good questions, and to use, to the best of our ability, the minds that God has given us. Help us to be generous with all our gifts; both spiritual and material.  Show us how to share what we have and all that we are.  Teach us to give with joyful, open hearts. Pray for us, dear Mater, today and every day, that we may be worthy of our name “Children of the Sacred Heart.”
